All open SBIR and STTR grant topics

All open topics, sorted by deadline. Data from the official sources, DSIP and Grants.gov.

Plug your AI into this site. Give it the feed below. It holds every topic, every deadline, and every agency rule. Ask it which topics fit your firm. Ask it which ones to skip. Ask it to draft the one you pick. DoD SBIR and SBA place no limit on AI help.

Using a chatbot, like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini? Give it this feed: sbirdashboard.com/feed

Using an AI agent that checks on its own? Give it this address for automatic updates: sbirdashboard.com/api/topics

One caution: each agency sets its own AI rule, and NIH says no. NIH does not accept applications substantially developed by AI. Every topic page states its agency rule.

Most topics need a team. Every topic here has a team list.

Applying is always free.
